We are hopefully looking at a boat this weekend, but it does not have a recent survey. Can anybody recommend a surveyor, preferably in Harrison Twp?

Just some insight for what it’s worth. Paul, the owner of Temptation is a great person and super honest on both sides of the deal. His sales office is located inside my marina, MacRay Harbor(next to Belle Maer). You’d be hard pressed to find a negative comment about him or his team of brokers. Many on this forum have used his services for both sides.

Thanks for the feedback. I have never dealt with them, so it's good to hear they are trustworthy. I've never purchased a brokered boat. My current boat I bought new and the previous one was purchased from a private owner.

They refused to work with my buyers broker. So we didn’t buy their boat. BTW, every other broker in the region did agree to work with our broker. When you list your boat, be sure to know if the broker will cooperate with other brokers or not, it can make a difference.

I have great experiences working with Paul and his team. Helped me sell my last boat and I brought him into my purchases agreement as my buyer's broker, due to it being listed For Sale By Owner. very glad I did it that way.
Paul is very honest and takes long term relationships into mind when dealing with his clients. He is my top choice for all future deals.

Also, Dennis Biel is great for surveys.
 
Dennis did my survey on my 40 silverton flybridge back in 2002 down in catabwa.Pleased with his work.Also have worked with Russ salliot in Wyandotte mi.

Another thing about Dennis is he surveys a ton of boats. In my case he surveyed my boat for a prior new owner. He keeps all surveys so he was able to go back and look at a bit of history on the boat. It was interesting.
 
Just now noticing this thread. Dennis is probably the go to surveyor in our area. I wasn't able to get him for my first surveyor so I used Tom (info below) and recommended by Temptation. I was very pleased with his first survey so I used him for my 400 also. I to think Paul at Temptation is a great guy.
Surveyor I used:
Tom VanDerMaas A.M.S., LLC.
Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors
U.S.C.G. Master 50 Ton
408 Notre Dame St.
Grosse Pointe, Michigan 48230
313 910-9290

Thanks. It looks like the boat I was interested in sold before I got to look at it, so the hunt continues.

I'm assuming you're from the area. If so Metro Beach would be a good place to go this weekend. In water boat show with a lot of used boats and most of the brokers in this area. Good Luck
